NYI live Zoom group(s)
Consent for NYI live Zoom group(s)

NYI is currently meeting live via Zoom for online discussion and games, including break-out rooms. We use our Longsight Community Church of the Nazarene Zoom account. These sessions will not be recorded or made public, we will also prevent the private chat mode from being used. Although we will advise against it, be mindful that this does not stop participants from taking screen shots and sharing on their personal social media networks. Sessions will be led by at least two adults from our church who hold a current DBS.
For the group to work well we need consent for your child to participate in a way that we can see and hear them on Zoom. Sometimes we'll be playing games which only work if people can be seen and heard. This also helps us to know who is online with the group.
Having read the information above, I give consent for my child named on this form to (tick all that apply): *

Participate in the live NYI Zoom group(s) led by Longsight Community Church of the Nazarene. Participate with their Zoom video unmuted and their face visible as needed. Participate with their Zoom audio unmuted as needed. I don't want my child to participate in these.

NYI face-to-face group(s) activities
Consent for NYI face-to-face activities

Depending on Government advice and regulations regarding Covid-19 we hope to be able to meet face-to-face for some discussion and non-contact activities (indoors and outdoors) from October 2020. We will review health and safety guidelines and our risk assessment(s) to discern with you and your child(ren) when and how we can meet safely. We will be sending more details of face-to-face meetings once these have been decided and appropriate safety measures have been taken. We will send separate consent forms for any activities off-site. Feel free to contact one of the Pastoral Team if you would like a copy of the current risk assessment(s) for our buildings.
Do you consent to your child taking part in discussions and non-contact group games at Longsight Community Church of the Nazarene (indoors and outdoors) where Government guidelines are followed (e.g. social distancing, cleaning, face coverings)?

YES NO Not yet, I will wait for more information about these activities
Does your child have any medical conditions (including medicine and food allergies) that we need to be aware of?

YES NO
If yes, please give details
Does your child have any learning or physical needs that we need to be aware of?

YES NO
If yes, please give details
In the case of an emergency if we cannot contact you, do you agree to your child being given appropriate medical treatment as considered necessary by medical authorities?

YES NO

Photos and Social Media Consent
Photos and Social Media Consent

It's good to occasionally share with our church community and District what our group has been doing but, in keeping with our church's GDPR policy, we need your consent for any images or publicity where your child can be recognised or is named. We would like to celebrate and publicise group activities by featuring them in Longsight Community Church of the Nazarene communications materials, including printed publications or digital media, including Longsight Community Church of the Nazarene website and social media (Facebook & Twitter) which are also in the public domain. From time-to-time we may share these with our church District and their social media. Whenever possible, our usual practice is to try and gain additional, informal consent from the young people to make sure that they are happy with individual images that are used - we know that not everyone likes having their picture taken:-)
Having read the information above (tick all that apply):

I give consent to photographs and video being taken for the sole use of Longsight Community Church of the Nazarene where my child's face is visible or recognisable and where these can be shared on the church Facebook/Twitter feeds, newsletter (available via Facebook and sometimes printed), and website. I consent to the above but would prefer my child not to be named in the media mentioned above. I give consent for Longsight Community Church of the Nazarene to select photos or videos where my child's face is visible or recognisable to share with NYI and District media. I do not give consent for any photos or videos to be taken or used where my child is recognisable or named.

Finally...
We don't expect you to sit with your child during the live Zoom sessions but we recommend that you discern whether someone needs to be available in case your child needs help with Zoom or any instructions given. We also recognise that as we connect online it's tricker to respond to a young person if they are upset. We'll try to follow-up as best we can but please do let one of the session leaders know if we can help in some way.

Also, please let us know if your child(ren) may have difficulties accessing internet data or devices to participate. We can help!
Finally, is there anything else you'd like us to be aware of as your child participates in these activities?
We're still adjusting to a new way of church and ministry with physical distancing in place and trying to find creative ways of including children and young people - thanks for your patience as we continue to navigate this well. Please do not hesitate to contact one of the Pastoral Team if you have any other ideas or questions.
